Plenty of people continue to work in their professions after achieving their goals simply because they like their jobs!

Really trying to start out early to achieve financial freedom sooner than later.

It got messy for a while before I achieved critical mass with payroll vs revenue but now we have quality control, internal training, great culture, and are able to innovate with great people. 

Make sure you have a competent attorney that understands time is of the essence to motivated, private investors.We stay on top of our files & make sure our attorneys are getting things done as quickly as possible.

Until we have financial freedom by achieving our passive income number, we are never truly free.

What types of motivators or distresses do they have?

@Lawrence Kutsovsky I think the biggest factor to consider is what is your goal, who do you want to be around, and who do you NEED to be around in order to achieve what you want to in real estate.

I don't have any experience in that but I am assuming it will be harder to find contractors that would be motivated to work in a more dangerous part of town.Any advice or book recommendations on the screening/managing contractors process would be greatly appreciated!

Ultimately it comes down to how well you know the market and sub-market, what could potential challenges be, what are the motivators for a particular market, etc. 

I have VA's send out a lot of marketing each month to find motivated sellers.
